Yes, after a meal, especially one rich in carbohydrates, the blood glucose levels typically rise due to the digestion and absorption of glucose from the food. This increase in blood glucose is often reflected in a tube of blood drawn for testing, indicating higher glucose concentrations. The body usually responds by releasing insulin to help lower blood glucose levels back to a normal range.

Is testing blood glucose right after a meal too soon?

It's not magic. The testing of the glucose levels of your blood tell a sory for you and your doctor - how your body reacts to sugar, whether your medication levels are right, etc. As a consequence blood levels can be measured before a meal, a set period of time after a meal, after fasting. Establish with your doctor or health professional what schedule of testing you should be on, keep good records (most glucometers will do a lot of number crunching for you and some can tie into your home computer)

Why does blood contain glucose but normal urine does not?

Blood contains glucose because it is an essential energy source for cells in the body. However, the kidneys normally filter out glucose from the blood and reabsorb it back into the bloodstream, so that there is no glucose present in normal urine. The presence of glucose in urine, known as glucosuria, can be a sign of diabetes or other health conditions.
